VolRadar's daily 0–100 composite of 5 volatility signals (Premium Edge, VIX Regime, Volatility Trend, Earnings Safety, Term Structure) that summarizes whether conditions favor premium selling. The score is recalculated every trading day after market close using end-of-day options data from ORATS. It is benchmarked to the S&P 500 universe, giving you a single number to check before placing any trade.
⚡ KEY TAKEAWAY: 65–100 = Favorable (green light). 40–64 = Selective (pick spots). 0–39 = Defensive (sit out or cut size). Check the Weather Score every morning before you trade — it takes 5 seconds and can save you from selling into a hostile environment.
Premium Edge
The biggest Weather Score driver at 30% weight. When Premium Edge is high, the market is overpaying for options — prime time to sell.
VIX Regime
VIX below 15 = premiums too cheap to bother. VIX above 30 = gap risk too high. The 15–25 zone is where sellers thrive. Always check VIX regime before sizing your positions.
Volatility Trend
Falling RV means stocks are calming down while options still price in yesterday's turbulence. That lag is your edge.
Earnings Safety
Peak earnings season = minefield for premium sellers. When Earnings Safety is low, stick to stocks well past their report date.
